Anyone know how to mix multipools? My rejects are high and I think they are interactions. Can I turn off the new block monitoring? I think that's what it does with the other pools.

Eh, you really need 40-60? 33-66 will do Smiley

Why would you need such a feature anyway?

Ideally, I would like to see arbitrary percentages, to optimize one's variance as a function of the pool's size.

I guess, if you want a certain pool to receive a higher number of shares than the other(s) you can add it twice in the config and use the load balance strategy.

So, for 40-60, I would need to add one 2 times the other 3 times.  Smiley

But implementing the same thing within cgminer should not be that difficult.

Massive task, not interested.

At least item (a) (unequal balancing) would be only a minor tweak of the balancing strategy, would it not?

No

Is it something worth adding?

In general, would it make sense to develop the multi-pool capabilities of cgminer:

(a) allowing a percentage of balance between pools (e.g., 30% pool 0, 70% pool 1);

(b) complex algorithms (balance pools 0 and 1, and if both fail, then switch to pool 2);

(c) mixing sha256 and scrypt, with certain cards assigned to certain pools.

I have 2 different types of cards. One is better for scrypt, while the other two are probably more profitable on sha256 mining.

Is there a way to run a single instance of cgminer that connects to two or more completely different pools, and "routes" work from a given pool to a given card?

(This is certainly possible with launching multiple instances of cgminer.)
